Letters: No real solution

When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That is true with Verle Daniel Solt's letter ("Deficit solution," Feb. 1). I'm sorry, but 70 million times $300 is only $21 billion, not $21 trillion ?— not even enough to pay the federal budget for one year, let alone to pay the federal deficit.

actually pay down the deficit? He's a lot more patriotic than
obstructionist repubs who seem to have forgotten why we are so in debt and who
truly provides wealth. More..

Is that kind of like Republicans;

Reducing taxes, and
increasing spending?

Starting a few wars, and not funding any of
them?
